Rodrigo Alves has been issued a final warning after he used racially offensive language on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 25-year-old star – known as the Human Ken Doll – used the N-word twice during a conversation with fellow housemates Gabby Allen, Natalie Nunn, Chloe Ayline, and Dan Osbourne during scenes aired on Friday’s (17.08.18) episode of the Channel 5 reality show.
When quizzing Dan about his love life, Rodrigo said: "Are you married? The girls want to know, not me, you’re not my type anyway. No for god’s sake. I like a n**** boy, he’s too white for my sake. I like a n**** boy."
The following morning, Rodrigo was pulled into the Diary Room and received a stern warning from ‘Big Brother’, who told him his language was "unacceptable".
They told him: "Rodrigo, before you entered the ‘Big Brother’ house, the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you.
"This morning at 2:40am in the bedroom in a conversation with Dan, Gabby, Chloe, and Natalie, you used the N-word twice.
"Rodrigo this word is highly offensive, and very likely to cause significant offence to both your housemates and more importantly, the viewing public. Do you understand?"
The star claimed he "regretted" using the racially offensive term, but blamed his behaviour on being "drunk".
He said: "I do understand. Last night I was very excited to be here, and I had quite a lot to drink, and I was intoxicated. I was drunk. In fact I was very drunk, and today I’m very hungover, I’ve been drinking a lot of water. I obviously regret that, the fact that I used the N-word. That was not necessary at all. It was just excitement, I’d had quite a lot to drink."
‘Big Brother’ then issued him one final warning, and threatened to kick him off of the show – which only launched on Thursday (16.08.18) – if he used offensive language again.
They said: "None of that is relevant Rodrigo, that is not an excuse. Big Brother regards your language in this instance to be totally unacceptable, and Big Brother does not tolerate such language in the house. As a result of your use of offensive language, Big Brother a formal and final warning. If you use this language in the house again, you will be removed from the house immediately."
